Aside from fame and, sometimes, great fortune, stars of the technology world are often rewarded and recognized for their work in fairly standard ways: Through the granting of honorary degrees, the awarding of medals, the granting of memberships in halls of fame, and the inclusion on lists of the most influential people in their field or the world. However, once in a while, these innovators and visionaries are honored in less traditional, sometimes downright odd, ways. But having an asteroid, a street, or a species of fly named in one’s honor might actually turn out, ultimately, to be a longer-lasting way to commemorate a person of great achievement.

Use the arrows above to learn about unusual honors given to ten famous people from the tech world. If know you of other odd ways that tech’s elite, or their work, have been honored over the years, please share in the comments.

Unusual honors: As Stallman is fond of pointing out, the operating system that many simply call Linux, is really a combination of GNU tools and the Linux kernel, and hence should really be called GNU/Linux. It was appropriate, then, in 1992 that GNU, like Linux, had an asteroid named after it, 9965 GNU, by Spacewatch, users of the GNU/Linux operating system. In 1994, an asteroid was named after Stallman himself, 9882 Stallman.

Unusual honors: As of today, not one, not two, but three celestial bodies have been named, at least in part, in Torvalds’ honor or in honor of his work. In 1994, asteroid 9885 Linux was discovered and named by Spacewatch, followed two years later by asteroid 9793 Torvalds. In 2001, astronomers Jean-Luc Margot and Michael E. Brown discovered a small moon orbiting the asteroid 22 Kalliope and they chose to name it Kalliope I Linus, after Linus, the mythical son of Kalliope, Linus van Pelt of Peanuts cartoon fame, and Linus Torvalds.

Unusual honor: More than three years after his death, Jobs has continued to be recognized, including being named a Disney Legend posthumously in 2013, relating to his work as Pixar’s CEO and a Disney board member.

Unusual honor: In 2015, Musk received what may be the highest (unofficial) award that popular culture can bestow these days, by starring as himself in an episode of The Simpsons, titled The Musk Who Fell to Earth.
